Bob Cialdini is a professor emeritus at Arizona State University. He influences almost every marketing, evangelism, and sales decision that Guy Kawasaki makes.

In short, Cialdini is the “godfather of influence.” He is to changing people’s minds what Martha Stewart is to changing people's lifestyle.
